Howdy Y'all from Indiana (Southern IN that is)

[WhitneyK]

Howdy folks!
Well, it all started this past spring when my wife and I went campin' in the South West for 2 weeks. Picture this; Dodge Caravan with roof mounted luggage rack, I pulled the 2 front "stow-n-go" seats out to make a under floor storage compartment, food & essentials stored inside. Whenever we would stop for the night we would have to slide the seats forward, transfer our "stuff" to the front seats, dash, floorboard, blow up the air matress (Praise God for 12V air pumps) and crawl in. In the morning I pulled the plug on the matress, flip it back, transfered stuff to the back and off we went. (Did I mention we did this every night for 2 weeks) I said to her, there's got to be a better way, but I don't want to drag a "big 'ol camper" all over the country side or mess with a pop-up.

After doing some research, here I am! These here tear drops and tiny trailers are like an addictive drug... I just can't stay away from the site. Researching, reading (and I don't even like to read), looking at pictures, gettin' ideas, my little gears have been a turnin'. Y'all have turned me into a junkie in less than a week or two and I haven't even bought the first board yet!!!
Well, I'm gettin' long winded and need to get back my "researchin'" so I can get me another "fix"!

I caught the same bug last year, we found a Little guy and loved the brand so much we purchased a second one this year. Husband says I can't have both so I have to sell one Addictive little things aren't they?

Welcome to the fun house. If it is any consolation I was in your shoes 15 years ago, and still building them! Anyway, we have a winter gathering in January, 15th at Mounds state park in Anderson if you want to see a few tears in action. There will also be 40-50 units at our spring get together at Versailles state park in May. Check the Midwest section for details.
